I liken this to Wayland vs X11.
X11 suffers many/most of the same problems OpenSSL did. It's burdened by legacy code and requirements that stem from that. Wayland is a fantastic alternative, but support is still a work in progress. There's a huge amount of inertia to overcome, to which the benefit to the end user is virtually invisible.
See also systemd. It took Linux by storm, in part because sysv init has always been lacking but the implementation was swift because there wasn't anything nearly as comparable hindering it.
See also: docker vs podman. Podman learned many lessons from docker, and now is generally superior. It's a standalone app that runs as non-root, so can be treated the same way any other linux program is. With podman and systemd, you have a far more robust and secure method for deploying containers. But it's not 100% compatible with docker. It has inertia to overcome. It's seeing uptake from major players, so that will help.
You get Debian and RHEL to migrate to LibreSSL, and the majority of the linux world will fall in line in short order.
